Rather than inventing a new drink recipe or two, the team looked into how you might have a little more fun with the drinks you already enjoy. What they came up with were a self-navigating cocktail boat and light-up, booze-sipping flower. Each of the inventions were inspired by nature and the physics of surface tension — and maybe a couple rounds of the good stuff.

Someone (it was probably my biochemist beer brewing brother) told me that the green bottles don't block ultraviolet light. It is a reaction with the ultraviolet light that causes this taste that I don't like. Well, maybe I don't always trust my brother (even though when it comes to beer, I should). You know what happens next, right? Experiment time.
